410wned Gaming

410wned steps up to the mics for the final time, as Jackie Fingaz, Kevin and Dak say farewell to the show that shaped the last ten years of their lives. Join us as the credits roll, retelling many stories and adventures featuring 410wned members past and present. Friendships forged, marriages made, and of course lots and lots of video games! Infinite thanks go out to everyone involved with the 410wned Gaming Podcast, and to all of you who have listened to us all this time. We don't want to say goodbye, but we know that right now we can't give you the level of entertainment you deserve; entertainment worthy of the name 410wned. May your controllers always be charged, and may your internet connection be strong. Thank you, we love you all!

410wned takes to the studio yet again as Jackie Fingaz returns from adventures along the east coast. Rejoining Kevin, they discuss Fingaz's impressions from GamesCom 2021, many of which came after the main show so they are new for Kevin as well. New details regarding the Dead Space remake emerge, so 410wned naturally offers commentary. In spite of busy lives, some games were played and are disused. Kevin and Fingaz have a message to all of the listeners who have followed the group over the years, and what the future of 410wned will hold. You won't want to miss it!

This week Fingaz decided he needed a week off and since we both suck at scheduling that would have been 3 weeks without recording a show... So i rounded up a couple of strays for days past to help me break down the happenings of all the major gamescom events. Dak and Tom joined up again to help break down all the hot new destiny news and we broke down all the latest news from Xbox and ONL. Including our love/hate for trebuchet. Strap in and get ready for a long old fashioned 410wned.

What a roller coaster from developers this week. EA plans to focus more on their sports games and Apex Legends as sales of traditional releases decline. Apparently Take Two didn't get that memo, because they're preparing to release a whole mess of AAA titles in the next few years. The highly anticipated Sony exclusive Horizon: Forbidden West is officially delayed into 2022. Not that it really matters, because PS5 consoles are still incredibly rare. Jackie Fingaz and Kevin played The Ascent courtesy of Game Pass, so they'll weigh in on the dystopian cyberpunk twin stick shooter RPG. That's a lot of adjectives. Let's go!

It's that time again, 410wned is back to weigh in for another week in gaming. PlayStation 5 sells 10 million units, but CEO Jim Ryan says difficulties will continue to limit production well into next year. Xbox is feeling that same pressure with their fastest selling Xbox console to date. Halo Infinite holds a multiplayer tech test, which is promising news for the widely anticipated next entry. PlayStation exclusive Kena: Bridge of Spirits is delayed to September 2021, and Nintendo is shutting down Dr. Mario World as of November 1st. As always, Jackie Fingaz and Kevin share what they've been up to the last week. Are you not entertained?! Of course not, you have to hit play first!

Kevin survived Arizona! Yay! Now he has to return to the studio with Jackie Fingaz for this week's 410wned shenanigans. Ubisoft makes up most of the news this week, as they shutter Elite Squad, and announce XDefiant. Skull and Bones has finally reached alpha, with the dev team detailing the difficulties getting this far. Neil Blomkamp joins Gunzilla Games as creative visionary director, serving as the inspiration for the studio's multiplayer shooter debut game. There's much more in store for you, so here we go!

The video game industry continues its relentless onslaught of new things, namely Nintendo announcing the Switch OLED Model. Ubisoft may be heading in the live service direction with Assassin's Creed Infinity, though nothing is confirmed yet. Kojima Productions and Xbox sign a letter of intent regarding Kojima's next project, which could rely completely on Xbox's cloud. EA DICE LA becomes Ripple Effect Studios, and reveals it is working on an unannounced game. Jackie Fingaz is kicking it old school with the Castlevania Collection, and Kevin plays the new Space Jam game? Sure, stranger things have happened, so get ready for another off the wall week with 410wned!  

Hello again from 410wned! Another week in gaming down, and since E3 is over we thought we'd seen all the big stuff. Wrong. Xbox officially launched Cloud Gaming for all Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, as well as iOS and Backbone. Sony won't be outdone, however, as it appears they have purchased developer Housemarque, and maybe also Bluepoint Games. Control gets a multiplayer spin off title, and developer Remedy also announced there are more games in the Control universe to come. Konami struggles to remain relevant, and is working on a deal worth Bloober Team. Jackie Fingaz and Kevin share their Gaming exploits for the past week, and of course offer their takes on this week's stories. Grab your controllers, it's go time!  

Is time for the 410wned weekly recap of the gaming industry, and we are excited to talk about a bunch of new stuff this week. Xbox partners with some of the biggest tech manufacturers to create a new line of Xbox branded monitors designed specifically for the Series consoles. Gotham Knights developer WB Montreal is working on a brand new IP according to a job listing for the company, though we are a bit confused as to why Gotham Knights isn't releasing for another year. EA teases revitalizing a fan-favorite franchise, George R.R. Martin says his work on Elden Ring ended years ago, and developer Blue Box Studios goes to great lengths to prove they are not Hideo Kojima. Video games!

410wned steps up to their mics once again to bring you post E3 commentary. OG 410wned member Dak joins Jackie Fingaz and Kevin to discuss the highs and lows of the first all digital E3, and there's plenty to be said. We'll cover the Xbox/Bethesda conference, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Nintendo and more, so strap in for the classic trifecta of games talk!

Jackie Fingaz and Kevin return for another week of digital dialog! Crytek might be digging up its past with a rumored Crysis 2 remaster, while Crystal Dynamics opens a new studio despite the less than healthy launch of their latest title Marvel's Avengers. Job listings for Bungie point to a character driven multiplayer game, and Epic releases an Unreal Engine 5 playable tech demo called Valley of the Ancient. Western Digital launches new external SSD's for PS5 and Xbox Series, though their capabilities may make them a tough sell. Fingaz played a bit more Resident Evil Village, while Kevin dabbled in a few games which unsurprisingly includes Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Let the games begin!

Stuff and things happened this week in the world of video games, and as always Jackie Fingaz and Kevin are here to talk about said stuff and things. The only problem is the technology we use has become sentient and deleted all the bookmarks, so we have no idea what's in this show. So it looks like we're all in for a surprise this week!

THIS! IS! PODCAST! Big shout out to the 410wned family, it's unreal that we've done 300 of these! Gabe Newell supposedly hints at Steam games coming to console, but probably not while Valve fights it's very own digital lawsuit similar to Sony's current predicament. Ubisoft delays Assassin's Creed ship combat spinoff Skull and Bones again, now with a salty new release window of 2022-2023. Bungie accidentally opened up Destiny 2 cross play months ahead of it's planned go live date, and they're leaving it open for a whole week. Jackie Fingaz dives headfirst into madness with Resident Evil Village, and Kevin flexes the mettle of his marriage in It Takes Two! Let the yelling about video games commence!

410wned continues to battle technical limitations to deliver your weekly dosage of ridiculousness. This week, Sony reportedly obtains minority stake in Discord following the cessation of talks with Microsoft. Sony also falls under attack in a class action lawsuit claiming unfair pricing and a digital monopoly of their games. Activision seeks to convert all of its IP to follow suit with Call of Duty, with CEO Bobby Kotick stating CoD is "the template" with which all other games should be built. Ubisoft announces The Division: Heartland, a new free-to-play entry into The Division universe. Jackie Fingaz played the Resident Evil Village demo, and Kevin played It Takes Two. No time to waste, let's go!

EA is under scrutiny once again after an internal documents leak suggests that FIFA is structured to push players toward purchasing FUT packs. The original Little Big Planet trilogy is essentially unplayable, and while the issues are being addressed no one had really said exactly what the issues are. Sony has officially surpassed first year sales of the PS4 with their latest console venture. The latest iOS update adds native support for PS5 and Xbox Series controllers, roughly one week after Xbox launched the beta of Xbox Cloud Gaming browser-based streaming on iOS mobile devices. Capcom has taken dissatisfied feedback regarding the first two Resident Evil Village demos into account, extending the final demo for an entire week, though it still has a time limit of 60 minutes. Join Jackie Fingaz and Kevin on a new weekly adventure into the world of video games.

After a less than favorable response from it's player base, Sony has walked back it's decision to shut down the PS3 and PS Vita stores this June. The PSP store will close as originally planned. E3 returns this year as an all digital, free to stream event for anyone, though we have to assume there will be some private media streams. Xbox announces a list of backward compatible games now streaming on Xbox Cloud Network, both on PC and Apple mobile devices. The web browser based streaming addition seems to be Xbox's way around Apple's roadblock. Kevin played stuff, but Jackie Fingaz didn't. Shame on you, Fingaz.

PlayStation seems to be doubling down on AAA games with laser focus, and not just big budget games, but games that are too big to fail. This being one seat of the seesaw as Sony announces it will shut down the digital store for PS3, PS Vita, and PSP later this year. Even more interesting is the news that Sony has listed an open position for Head of Mobile. PlayStation 5 gets its first major system update, adding support for a wider range of 120Hz monitors, improving HDR, and most importantly allowing you to store PS5 games externally. Still can't play them externally though. E3 returns as an all digital event, and a new BioShock game appears to still be in development. Stay tuned to see what Jackie Fingaz and Kevin were up to the last few weeks.

Xbox continues delivering on promises made, as backward compatibility comes to Xbox Cloud Gaming. CD Project Red continues to have difficulty delivering on their Cyberpunk 2077 promises, with multiplayer possibly becoming the latest issue. It remains unclear whether multiplayer is still going to happen at this point, though it seems it will be a standalone experience if it does. A bunch of named Cyberpunk content suddenly appeared in the Epic Games Store, but it's not DLC according to CDPR and has since disappeared from the store as mysteriously as it showed up. Jackie Fingaz and Kevin tried to play Outriders together, and then tried to play ME 3 multiplayer together. Prepare to be entertained.    

No, seriously Microsoft is buying everything. Discord has reportedly become the next property Microsoft has its eyes on, for a paltry sum of $10 Billion. Xbox Live is now Xbox Network, but Xbox Live Gold is still Xbox Live Gold. A new Nintendo Switch may be released this holiday season, sporting better graphics at possibly a higher price point. The Final Fantasy universe introduces a whole mess of FFVII content for mobile, titled Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis. Jackie Fingaz and Kevin give their weekly updates on what they've been playing, and of course Fingaz gets angry about stuff. Enjoy!

Jackie Fingaz and Kevin continue battling the internets to bring you weekly 410wned content. We may or may not have lost episode 293, so this may or may not be episode 294. Either way, there's plenty from Sony and Xbox this week. PlayStation buys Evo Championship, decides to give away ten more free games with their Play at Home initiative, and Jade Raymond's new indie studio Haven Entertainment is working on a PlayStation exclusive. Xbox Game Pass gets everything Bethesda, along with Octopath Traveler which was formerly a Switch exclusive. Outriders was also announced to be availableon Game Pass on launch day. Xbox is increasing download speeds, Phil Spencer adds new details to the Bethesda exclusivity debate, and Dying Light 2 is coming this year. Whew, that's a lot to cover!

410wned returns after departing from the Orbital Jigsaw podcast network, and some frustrating technical issues. Lots of stuff has been going on, starting with Sony allowing use of the PS5 memory expansion port with a future firmware update. Microsoft's not planning any reveals on rumored March 23rd event, according to Aaron Greenberg. This response comes from rumors that a new Elden Ring trailer will be shown at the Xbox event. Aliens: Fireteam is a co-op PvE shooter from Cold Iron Studios, set twenty-three years after the conclusion of the movie trilogy. E3 2021 has officially been cancelled on the physical front. Kevin played lots more Mass Effect, and Jackie Fingaz played a little of a lot. Thanks for sticking with us, we're back!!

The shortage of Xbox Series and PS5 consoles continues, and so does the innovation in the gaming industry. This week saw the unveiling of MetaHuman Creator, Epic Games new development tool that allows for exponentially faster creation of characters. Ubisoft reveals plans to move away from reliance on AAA game releases, focusing more energy on free-to-play ventures and their incredibly profitable back catalog. The finalization of Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax Media appears on the horizon with the announcement of Vault, a subsidiary created to house and potentially oversee the new addition to Xbox's talent pool. Kevin has been playing the original Mass Effect to prepare for the arrival of the Legendary Edition (big surprise), and Jackie Fingaz played some Star Wars Squadrons. Let's go!

410wned returns to it's regularly scheduled programming, no thanks to Craig. Mass Effect Legendary Edition will not include the Pinnacle Station DLC for ME1 due to severely corrupted source code. A new Star Wars: KOTOR is apparently in development, without EA or BioWare being involved. MLB The Show 21 comes to Xbox consoles for the first time ever, though Sony maintains it's PS5 game pricing model on for the Xbox Series version. Oh, and there are also three other versions of The Show available this year. Google Stadia shuts down all internal development studios after a less than impressive launch. Kevin got an Xbox Series X console, and Jackie Fingaz got married! Fun!
